EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the grand entrance of Aziz and Zulaykha into the bustling capital of Egypt, as adoring Egyptians pour out to greet them. The illustration, dating back to the 16th century Safavid School, is a remarkable piece from Jami's Haft awrang (Seven thrones). The scene is filled with joyous celebrations and an air of anticipation as the couple arrives in their resplendent costumes. The magnificent palace stands tall in the background, symbolizing power and opulence. Accompanied by a retinue of dromedaries and horses adorned with traditional attire, they create a mesmerizing procession. The love between Aziz and Zulaykha is beautifully depicted through this artwork. Their union has brought together people from different walks of life who are eager to witness their nuptials. The manuscript containing poems about their love story adds depth to this enchanting scene. As musical instruments fill the air with melodious tunes, it becomes evident that this momentous occasion is not just a celebration but also a literary event where poetry takes center stage. Illuminated script surrounds the image, showcasing Persian literature at its finest. This illustration transports us back in time to experience an Eastern extravaganza filled with festivities and cultural richness. It serves as a reminder of how art can transcend centuries while still evoking emotions within us today.
